Can we definitively know the age of the earth from the Bible? While we can’t pinpoint it down to the exact day or year, we can get a surprisingly accurate estimate of the age of the earth if we study the Scriptures properly—and it’s not millions or billions of years old. In this video, we answer these questions and more: What is the age of the earth according to the Bible? Does “day” really mean a 24-hour period? Was the biblical flood a local or worldwide event?
